Title: Opportunistic Thieves.
Post by: Oldandslow on September 17, 2014, 10:53:56 AM: Reading another thread on here reminded me of a study I read recently. Apparently more than half the population tested said that they would steal something they wanted if there was zero chance they would be caught. Makes you wonder what the world is coming to.

While the honest people work hard to buy the things they want and need, then have to pay even more in high insurance premiums because of the attitude of these people.

Last time someone tried to break in here I scored a free set of bolt cutters, a nice warm jacket, a beanie, two shoes... Unfortunately the were the wrong size and different shoes... But it's the thought that counts right? :)
And I didn't have to feed my dogs for two days. :)

I am terrible with ages? 18-20 ish?
I did get to have a little chat with them. They sounded pretty out of it.
To be fair though.. By then I had their stuff. :)
One shoe each. ;)
I found the beanie, bolt cutters and jacket in various places along the front driveway in the morning when the sun came up.
I gave those to the police. As umm they contained DNA. :)
